The album will be released on May 21st.
Singer-songwriter and keyboardist Rachel Eckroth has announced the May 21st release of her self-titled EP, produced by and written with David Garza (Fiona Apple, Midland). Fresh off the stage at Studio 8H after backing St. Vincent last week on Saturday Night Live, Eckroth shares the tranquil loving ode, "You're The Only Thing." watch.
Rachel met Garza in LA on a gig in 2018 and eventually asked if he'd play and sing on some songs. "He said, 'Better yet, come to Sonic Ranch in Texas next month and we'll write and record'," notes Eckroth of the collaboration's genesis. He had just finished Apple's astonishing Fetch the Bolt Cutters album and had some spare studio time so Eckroth made the road trip with a few ideas and they went to it in March 2020. "You're The Only Thing" started in David's living room after a night of drinking wine," adds Eckroth. "During covid, Downtown LA was basically quiet, but the windows were open and you could hear a few people and cars in the street. He picked up the guitar and started strumming and the vibe was just cool, so we started this song. I've spent almost all of the lockdown with my husband Tim and this song is just me saying that he's the only one I'd wanna lockdown with. Life is short and if covid never ends, we'd be happy just being on this little horse farm in Arizona together."Watch here:
